Artisan breads are created by hand in the centuries old tradition of European bakers. The technique and observation of sensitivity of the artisan baker produce distinctive and personalized loaves of bread. Artisan bread may differ from day to day and loaf to loaf with variations in shaper, color and texture due to human touch and the breads’ organic nature. Each loaf is formed by hand, assessed by the eye and subject to the baker’s judgment at every step.

The blue duck bakery café bakes our own signature line of artisan breads as well as the finest quality pastries and cakes. Our bakery products are baked fresh daily on premises, under the expertise and direct guidance of Keith Kouris, master baker with over 25 years of experience and a graduate of the French Culinary Institute’s International Bread Baking Program.
